You would think they would have gotten a Jeep without the D35?  :hahaha:

Is that Bill Wu (team Lambo) from the show on Speed with Bill Goldberg?  Bullrun was the name of the show.

You mean this?  :lol:  I don't know who Bill Wu is.  I know Goldberg is a big car guy.

if they actually know how to drive they should be able to go along ways. but if they drive like they do on top-gear the d35 will break every episode and will get stuck alot... definitely looking forward to this show

I don't know.  They're probably still up there dead and the series ended.  :lol:

The Discovery Channel won't start airing these till the 19th, I think.

My bet is they used the high lift to keep the tire-wheel-axle from walking out. (strapped to the frame)

Gonna season pass it. It might be just one episode.  :lol:

Maybe some duct tape and bailing wire, IF they don't weld it.  :wine:

I think this show would be more interesting if they used my Jeep. They wouldn't break my axle, but just about everything else would fail and they'd probably end up killing one another out of pure desperation/frustration...

Did anyone watch it?
Here's what I felt: Why is Wu on the show? The survival guide does all the work so he may as well drive. Lovely surprise to find the Jeep is a 4 banger! Yellow shocks looked to be Old Man Emu. Lastly, I was watching it thinking Art's Jeep would have driven out of there by now....   :lol:

I watched it with my 14 year old son.  We both enjoyed it.  I thought it was awesome that they used a 4 banger TJ.  It would have even been cooler if it was a 4 banger YJ.  Looked like the Jeep had some lift and larger tires/rims, a snorkel, and a winch. 

I was impressed with all that the vehicle went through.  It is a great testamony about what these rugged vehicles can do.

I think the show would be more fun with Tanner Faust driving and Bear Grylls being the survivalist dude.

The Wu guy complained way, way, too much.  I would enjoy seeing the survival guy punch Wu in the face and tell him to man up.

The two guys didn't seem to have much chemistry together, but maybe they will get along better in future episodes.  I think 5 episodes are planned, so I'll keep watching.

Sounds like it's a good show.  It seems it didn't air here in Mexico.  But, it might appear later on in the year.
